The Calvin Cycle, a light reaction needs three things. It needs NADPH, ATP, and carbon dioxide. It produces NADP+, ADP +P, and high energy sugars.

In photosynthesis, the reactants of the light-dependent reaction are water and light energy, which are used to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The products of the light-independent reaction (Calvin cycle) are ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide, which are used to produce glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The light-dependent reaction occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)
During the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is used to split water molecules to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. These products are then used in the light-independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
A.T.P. and N.A.D.H are formed during light reaction.
There must be a light reaction first before dark reaction. This is so that there is something to be compared.
chemical reaction brought on by light ( latin: photo - light)
Carbon dioxide is released during the light reaction.
A.T.P. and N.A.D.H are formed during light reaction.
which stages would be considered a light reaction?
Light reaction is not produced by chlorophyll .
the respiriration is such a oxidative reductive process ... and during plant it have two complex more process consist of seriese of steps DARK reaction and Light reaction.................... dark reaction need no light wheather in day time or night time...................... some how the light reaction are done in the prescence of light ..........during the light reaction the formation of the light reaction is just one ATP Which is responsible for the production of dark reaction .............
